Full Description

Allt a’Chuirn
This place name pertains to the lower ground south of Barrisdale House and east of the Barrisdale River. Here a possible still site was recorded at the foot of a gorge off the main river, and a few other buildings close to the river. These sites were recorded by NOSAS in 2004 as part of an archaeological survey of Inner Loch Hourn.

Site: 455. A possible building with boulders visible in the vegetation, close to a small burn, enclosed by the low remains of an arcing turf dyke with ditch outside. <1>

Note; Site not visible on APs so location approximate. (T Blackie 4/5/18)
